So you Pens fans were sayin'?

Don't worry I'm not going to start boasting or making any Jinxing statements about tomorrow night's game. I just thought I'd like to remind Penguins players that the Senators... they're not afraid of you. Not only do you have to contend with Alfredsson growing a pair of testicles you've also got to deal with players just stepping up their games. Corvo and Neil both come to mind. Corvo already has a pair of goals and Neil scored a beauty on the break away in the first game. Everyone on Ottawa is showing up for their games, and in Game 3 when we weren't so stellar, Rayzor came through with the big stops. The series ain't over yet, but if the Penguins want to stay alive they're going to have to contend with a Sens squad that's firing on all cylinders.

See you Ottawa tomorrow Crosby, get a good rest. You'll need it.

Aye aye Captain!

Wow. So who is this crazy Swede?

For years now I've been a huge Alfredsson critic. The fact of the matter is I have on many an occasion said, "Trade his ass!" Personally I feel I've been justified, last year Alfredsson's playoff tally was 1 goal and 3 assists in 10 playoff games. Come on! You're the fricken Captain! Well that's what I've always said...

Now I'm changing my tune like a fan-boy bandwagon jumper. The thing is I knew Alfredsson was capable of more, and now he's showing it. About freakin' time for sure but hey, better late than never. Personally I thought Alfredsson absolutely demolishing Roberts with a bodycheck was a symbolism that transcended the scoreboard. Series is going well... who knows how it'll end, but if this keeps up it'll be all over.

Lucky bounces and flukes do not a comeback make

Well I, like LosRicos, wasn't completely surprised that the Pittsburgh Penguins took down the second game of the playoffs between the two teams. Honestly though I thought the Sens still looked like the better team. Ottawa hit at least 3 posts and had a couple of shots that woulda-coulda-shoulda. Would I like to have gone up 2 games? Of course. Do I think it's time to pee our pants? Not exactly, all the same it's important that we take down this next one tomorrow night. If we play like we did today minus the first period, I think it's very likely we'll win tomorrow's game. I make no promises though.

Speaking of the game Hats-off to Alfie. I've been one of Alfredsson's staunchest critics in the past decade and have often said he needs to be traded. Actually I'm a huge fan of Heatley for captain. However, these first two games Alfredsson has been stellar. He might not be lighting up the scoreboard but he's definitely playing with heart, and I'm loving that. Who knows how it'll turn out... fingers crossed.

Thank God it's a best of 7 and not a best of 3
